American Honda Motor Co., Inc. AIMExpo Booth #7104 has been part of the Southern California community since opening its doors in 1959 and they are stepping up to support the devastated region. On behalf of the Honda family of companies in the U.S., Honda is donating $500,000 in needed disaster relief funds to the American Red Cross to support the tens of thousands of residents impacted by the California wildfires. This is just part of the outreach.
“The donation will enable the American Red Cross to respond to and help people recover from this disaster across the affected region, home to the company’s U.S. sales and marketing headquarters and its associates,” says Jennifer Thomas, senior vice president of Corporate Affairs at American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
In addition to the corporate disaster recovery donation, Honda Financial Services (HFS) and Acura Financial Services (AFS) are offering payment extensions and lease deferrals to customers impacted by the natural disaster. Honda is also offering its associates an opportunity to join the relief effort through the company’s matching fund program. Honda will match eligible donations on a dollar-for-dollar basis, up to a maximum of $1,000 per associate contribution.
“As a member of the Southern California community for over 60 years, Honda cares very deeply about the local community and the impact of the devastating wildfires on families and businesses alike,” adds Thomas. “We hope this contribution will provide needed relief and support to all displaced residents or those otherwise impacted by this tragic and ongoing disaster.”
